2021 Indoor Growoff Format, Rules & Guidelines ------------------------------------- Seed Drop Window - 8 May 2021 to 22 May 2021 Soft Switch Deadline (changing to flowering light hours) - 3 July 2021 Judging Deadline (only if you miss Soft Switch Deadline) - 7 September 2021 ------------------------------------- Growoff Format Growers will all be growing out the same feminized seeds provided by Totemic Cannacraft. The format is relatively straight forward - grow out all the seeds provided, document accordingly and your grow will be judged at the end. Your grow has to be performed Indoors Only and needs to be started during the Seed Drop Window indicated above There is no harvest deadline but instead a Soft Switch Deadline, which entails the following: The Soft Switch Deadline will be the 3rd of July, which gives you sufficient time to veg your plants and 10 weeks to flower till around the 7th of September. If you choose to switch before or on the 3rd of July, you may continue your grow till you are happy that your plants are finished. There is no harvest deadline. If you choose to switch after the 3rd of July, a Judging Deadline applies and the state of your plants will only be judged on how they are on the 7th of September. Each grower will germinate and grow out all 3 seeds till harvest but choose only one plant to be put forward for judging. Not all seeds are required to be grown out till the end, your chances of success will just be greater if you grow out all 3 plants. Each grower will be required to run a diary of their grow updating their diary every 7 days. Please see the rules thread for more details on competition rules Once all grows are complete the judges will then deliberate and decide the winners. Basic Rules Your grow must be performed INDOORS ONLY. Your plants may not be placed under the sun for an extended period of time. You are only allowed to take your plants out very briefly for photographing. This is a rule that is impossible to enforce so we have to rely on trust and your honesty. You may only grow out the competition seeds provided by Totemic Cannacraft. No other genetics may be grown out. If you attempt to use other genetics it will be identified and you will be immediately disqualified. Growoff Diary Rules & Guidelines Each participant is required to run a Growoff Diary under the Growoff Diaries board. Diaries are subject to certain rules that ensure this competition remains as fair as possible for all taking part. PLEASE READ THE BELOW RULES CAREFULLY TO AVOID DISQUALIFICATION Getting Started Create your own topic/thread underneath the Growoff Diaries board. The topic title must be your Username ONLY. For example if your username is John33 your topic must be called John33 and nothing else. This topic/thread will be your official Growoff Diary. Your first diary entry must be please be a shot of your Totemic Tortoni seed pack with all 3 seeds in. You can do this as soon as you have received your seeds. Those that received their seeds from 420SA and did not collect from Totemic will receive a unique Growoff sticker with their 420SA Profile name on. Please include this sticker in your photo along with your seed pack. Seed germination must take place during the Seed Drop Window. Please document your seed germination technique in detail. We need this information to determine accountability should germination not be a success, and whether we can replace your seed pack (courier at own expense). You can grow out as many of the 3 seeds as you wish. Every plant that you do grow will need to be documented in your diaries. You will be choosing your best plant at the end. Diary Update Frequency Diaries must be updated at least once every 7 days. Your diary will effectively begin from the day of germination so please record that day in your diary. Diaries with more frequent and extensive updates are most welcome. Your diary updates must be current and not contain images of your plants taken more than 1 day before you post your update. Diaries that are not updated in time will be flagged and will undergo a warning process which involves a 1st Warning once a diary has been detected as out of date. If the diary has not been updated within 24 hours of the 1st Warning, a 2nd Warning is applied. If the diary is not updated within 24 hours of the 2nd warning you will be disqualified from the Growoff, unless a valid excuse is given. If you anticipate a late diary entry before hand please notify @420SA, @PsyCLown, @Ill_Evan or @CreX as soon a possible and we will review your situation to accommodate for it. Forgetting to update your diary in time is unfortunately not a valid excuse. We recommend setting a reminder on your phone for diary updates. Diary Update Contents Please include all details of your grow In each update please include how many days/weeks you are into veg or flower. Please include images of each plant Please document your feeding and pest control regime. Please avoid taking photos where plants are lit up by purple LED light or the heavy orange/yellow spectrum of HPS bulbs. You may take plants outside for photographs in the sun. These rules are subject to amendments in the upcoming days

Hey Fam, To give back, I'd like to invite you to tag or comment below, with a members name on the forum, new or old, who has been battling and hasn't been as fortunate enough to have shared in the 420 spirit and sales, or may not be able to purchase seeds due to financial reason. You can even comment for yourself if you fit the criteria (please dont cheat, as I will be checking)(this is for those who need it). From these names, I will look at the likes on each of their tagged name, and bless this person with 3x free RooiBaard Regular seeds, from GSR (not Affiliated or given for this reason). Big thank you to @Marzcanna for adding generously to the Giveaway, with 5x beautiful Nirvana Chemdog Feminised seeds. I'd like to add again, something small. I'll run this from now, 420 too, till Monday morning, the 26th April. This is for fun, so please share and tag, spread the love... Thank you and bless you all Again, all for giving back to the family (Flowering Rooibaard plant below)

turn the fans off! best tip for dummies hahaha trying to snap a shot of a swaying bud will bring even the toughest men to tears

It's all about angles

Its not a bad Idea to do that, but you can over do it easily with pot ash when amending a soil and that will cause your PH to go through the roof, I wouldn't go over 2% of the volume of soil.

I just love the leaf and bud structure on that one, It looks like the mother plant. She had this pig shit sweaty smell while the male was pure citrus and lemons.

Here are our SOTM March winners! Sorry for the delay guys, it's all Growoff at the moment! 2nd place @CreX 1st place & Our Winner @Dookie69 Congrats guys! You will be contacted shortly

woohoooooo!!! let the gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaames........begin

Yeah, sometimes. Finding the right pheno from Ethos, in my experience, has proven to be quite a challenge. Seems one needs to purchase multiple packs of seeds. A lot of what I have tried from Ethos has been a bit disappointing and just overhyped in general. Never found that keeper pheno unfortunately.

I'm going to update the main post with more gifts soon... @Marijuana Seeds SA is busy arranging a small hamper, so a huge big thank you to them for this. If anyone would like to add to these gifts, please contact me through DM. Please family, tag anyone you feel would benefit greatly from this.

Secret to great bud shots while slightly cheating is taking a photo in the dark with a flash. Also take way more pics than you need and pick the best ones Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh boy! How can one not be excited with all those prizes lined up.

Seeds are almost at my door! If all goes well ticket purchases should be opened up this afternoon. Keep an eye on your emails

not much happening right now, still recovering from the HST and settling into their new pots, growth is rather slow. still on 18/6, *since repotting them I've been giving only dechloronated tap water ph down to 6.0, will give 0.5ml/L fishmix in days to come. picking a leaf here and there everytime I open the tent.

Some updates on some of the plants still in the tent... The one Sugarcane I still have going, this one went into flower quite a while after the others. Here is the Bananium, don't think I have posted pics of it in flower yet. How do you guys think it looks in comparison to the Sugarcane? It has not been given the attention it deserves, but very keen to grow it out again and see what it can really do! When I get a chance, I will try take some pics of the bud which is dry and trimmed so you guys can see - will be the Exodus Cheese and LSP next in terms of bud pics.

Hey All I hadn't planned on doing a log or grow report on this when I started, but as this was my first time growing out an Auto and go at HSO seeds. So, I thought I'd give you a gathering of the images, all that I have in one place, and as the stuff cures, will write up a smoke report, if anyone is interested? Not the start, but around half way through flowering. Plant 1 Plant 2 Plant 3 The Group shot, 3 weeks before harvest The top of number 2, head in the clouds From the top looking down on number 3 Night of the chopping About 2 week in to the dry, and the 2 remaining plants, 1 and 3, then cleaned and put into jars as below The finished product, started the curing process and its oh so sticky and juicy smelling, it's no wonder this strain gets high reviews on the Terpenes, the citrus aroma is intense and pungent, plant 1 with a grapefruit flavor smoke and smell, and then plant 3 with an interesting woody lemon vibe. More details when cured Thank you for taking the time to view my post Just sharing with my family and hope you like, and always giving my honest opinion.

You could be a tester on the first batch. I'm loving the idea of growing these regular autos next spring and summer. A sea of purple autos. I'm honestly considering switching to only autoflowers. It's so nice being able to spot the males so early. I don't mind growing lots more smaller plants with more possible hybrids.

Aah man my turn.. That LGO's in your hands is making me excited.. Your Lemon Jedi Og and My GG make good babies bud.. Below my indoor test subject.. Bulking up nicely.. The outdoor girls are also doing well.. Can not wait for the F2's..

Yes I have 3 Russian fuel auto males from flash seeds in the tent right now, crossing them with one strawberry cola auto from exotic and 10 purple glam kush autos 10 days behind them in the dome with a few Lemon Gorilla og f1's from greegrow garden route.

No not at all. You'll get the email in a bit

@Stefan if you do go for a walk tomorrow, leave the ash and just grab a little soil from the berg. You can topdress with that or even brew a tea with it.

What are your picks for Sunday mornings(SA time) championship bouts? I got, Rose Valentina Masvidal Going to be a tough evenings work.

Awe bru, I'll drop her number in your inbox. Currently I've got Mandarin Cookies R1V2, Zkittles Cheese, Lemon OG and 9lbs hammer as seen in the pics. This run should finish up before end May. Then I was gifted a few clones from @SkunkPharmthat i wanna mess with.

Thanks @The_StonedTroopershe is currently curing since yesterday. Just Chopped my Big Buddah Cheese and Twisted Helix as well, only got 1 lady left for the last 3 weeks. @The_StonedTrooperI'm planning on running 2 x Jet Fuel Gelato (Cape Coast Hybrid cut) and then either 2x Crescendo(CCH) or 2x Frosted Apricots (Canna Clone) Im not entirely sure what other 2 to grow was even thinking of popping some beans.

@Marijuana Seeds SAgood one

I wonder if they'll open that part of the berg to the public. Ususally when there's a fire, they close it up to prevent more erosion.

yea i wanted to say just that as well... so laying a bed of ash isnt the best way either, definitely mix it into the soil you wanna use

6-9 August 2021, you can pre-register online, sounds like it has organically grown into a festival. Garden Route Cannabis Festival with support from all local stakeholders along the garden route. Lank amped to attend this event. More information here. #420experience #cannabispromoter can

Sorry guys, not much to update on here - just harvesting as plants are maturing. Do not have much left in the tent anymore. Some dry bud pics, I always struggle to take nice bud pics though and these are not the best but hopefully help give you guys an idea. Frost on all 3 is pretty good, particularly the sugarcane (duh) and frosted apricots. Slurricane is also frosty but I feel a tad less than the other two. These are not macro photos, just taken with a cell camera and then cropped. These are also not the biggest buds / colas, just reached into the jar to take out what I could get. I will admit that weight wise, none of these 3 are exceptional yielders but not terrible either. I have had other plants yield less. They also do not produce huge colas, unlike the cheese and LSP which I grew this time around. You can click on the picture to open it and zoom in a bit too. Sugarcane: Slurricane: Frosted Apricots:

Hey all So continuing my cannabonsai journey I came to realize that as they stay mostly in veg for a long time, some time interesting veg strains would be awesome. As most of the differences are usually used n the flower, any ideas for something that looks different in veg? Only one I’ve seen so far seems to be Freakshow from HSO. JUST LOOK AT IT. But alas where to find them beans? Any other ones come to mind? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just received 4* 3 Feminized seeds from @Totemicfrom the 420sa store. https://store.420sa.co.za/product/totemic-summer-2021-bundle/ Firstly R420 for 12 feminized seeds is fantastic but I was also really impressed by the packaging. Resealable bags, clearly labeled etc. Very very nice. Thanks @Totemicand 420SA

Hey, is it too late, I just signed up Sent from my SM-A715F using Tapatalk

They looking so sweet brother, yum yum. Okay, so clones, and maybe a bean or 2. Do you prefer clones and what beans do you have on you? Those colours of the buds, pre and post harvest, are so sexy.

Hi, No I didn't

The email with ticket links has now been sent out to all who've signed up

Looking cool @CoolJ Tell me when is harvest, so I can make a turn If I may, what are your plans for the next run? Any idea's...

I would actually only use the stuff when planting directly into the earth and then also not laying it down but mixing it in as it drastically changes the ph. it causes lime build up and over time it turns to magnesium. it can very quickly become too much in a pot situation. if you wanted to use in a pot, wait till repot before flower only, take some of the finest ash dust, sift if you must, and sprinkle a flat table spoon (around 5ml in a measure cup) over a 30L bag of soil, don't add more, less is more with this stuff.

Here’s my Charlotte growing nicely and just topped today. Left the undergrowth as they can make suitable clones when a bit bigger. I snapped a small branch of the undergrowth and trying to get it rooted.

Not to my knowing. Ash is rather dry and the fire sterilized all... elements more broken down, easier to absorb... good fertilizer. I dump all my wood ash on the compost heap

Yes, the one in flower has a few clones, so it will live on, and sorry to hear about your misfortune on the germination of them. Outdoor will be awesome for this plant.

Any reason to be outdoors sounds like a plan.

A really good camera would also do the trick... Those seem a few weeks off though dude... Looking real nice..

The last few stragglers outside, I love this time of year. The jars are full, your sick of trimming and you just smile as all the season's hard work comes together.

Hi guys, We have just restocked : - Guerilla Fume - Orange Road with a significant price reduction as well

Grand Daddy Purple Fast getting the chop this week(week 9 of Flower) her colours turned out very nice and has sweet grape scents. I must say I was very impressed with this strain so far grown from seed and was a few weeks behind the clones but still ended up solid.

Here are the nominees for SOTM March. @Dookie69 @GGG @Budwizer #1 @Budwizer #2 @monkeybar @CreX @PapaSpliff @Africansun1 @Noodlehead_Grows . @THUND3RPANTS Winners will be announced soon Good luck!

I love your setup!

Anja is a good size comparison.
